Beautiful late-summer morning on the upper end of Lake Austin with some repeat clients I hadn't seen in a while, and we picked up right where we left off. One of them brought his wife and kids along, and the kids were catching largemouth bass right alongside the adults — a family fishing trip where everyone gets bent rods always makes for a great day on the water.

The first bass of the morning came early

Big smiles at sunrise — the kids were on 'em
With water temperatures running 69–73 degrees on the upper end, soft plastic creature baits were the ticket for this Lake Austin bass fishing trip, and everyone on the boat put fish in the net. The first bass of the morning got things started, and the bite turned on strong from there. It seemed like every time someone boated a bass, they'd pitch right back to the same spot and hook another one — when the fish are grouped up like that, the action stays fast for kids and first-timers as well as the seasoned anglers.

The creature bait bite was steady all morning
